How Much Does Dysport Cost in Los Gatos? (2026 Price Guide)
· 6 min read · Bay Area Med Spa Guide Editorial

Dysport in Los Gatos costs $4–$7 per unit — cheaper per unit than Botox, but you typically need more units for the same result. Here's the real total-cost comparison and a current FDA safety note worth knowing before you book.
Quick answer
Dysport costs $4–$7 per unit in Los Gatos. Because Dysport spreads more broadly, most patients need roughly 2.5x the units of an equivalent Botox treatment. Since Los Gatos Botox already runs $15–$20/unit — the top of the Bay Area range — the total Dysport treatment cost lands close to Botox here too, not meaningfully cheaper. We track 20 verified Los Gatos providers with a 4.8★ average rating; RefinedMD currently has the most reviews in our data (454) at a 4.8★ rating. In November 2025, the FDA issued warning letters to 18 websites selling unapproved or counterfeit botulinum toxin — a real, current reason to book only with a licensed medical provider.
What Does Dysport Cost in Los Gatos?
Dysport in Los Gatos costs $4–$7 per unit — noticeably cheaper per unit than Los Gatos Botox pricing of $15–$20/unit, the top of the Bay Area range. But per-unit price alone is misleading: Dysport's broader diffusion means most patients need roughly 2.5x the units of an equivalent Botox treatment. We track 20 verified Los Gatos providers with a 4.8★ average rating — RefinedMD currently has the most Google reviews in our data at 454, with a 4.8★ rating, if you want a specific starting point for comparison.
Is Dysport Actually Cheaper in Los Gatos Once You Account for Units?
Not by as much as the per-unit prices suggest. A full upper-face Botox treatment in Los Gatos at $15–$20/unit using 30–50 units totals roughly $450–$1,000. The equivalent Dysport treatment at $4–$7/unit using 75–125 units totals roughly $300–$875. There's a real gap, but it's proportionally smaller than comparing the raw per-unit numbers alone would imply — always ask for a total treatment estimate based on your specific area, not just the headline per-unit price.
Dysport vs. Botox: What Actually Differs
Both are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A with a similar overall safety profile — the differences are onset speed and spread pattern, not effectiveness. Dysport tends to show results faster, often within 2–3 days, while Botox's onset is typically slower. Dysport also diffuses more broadly once injected, which some injectors like for larger, flatter areas such as the forehead, but requires more careful dosing near the eyes. Botox holds a tighter, more predictable spread.
A Real Safety Concern Worth Knowing About in 2026
In November 2025, the FDA issued warning letters to 18 websites for illegally selling unapproved or counterfeit botulinum toxin products, following CDC-investigated cases of severe adverse reactions across multiple states. There is no legitimate "discount" or "compounded" version of real Dysport — botulinum toxin products are FDA-regulated biologics with a boxed warning, the FDA's most serious safety designation. A per-unit quote well below Los Gatos's $4–$7 range is a reason to ask specifically where the product comes from and confirm the injector's license.
What to Check Before You Book
Ask for a total treatment price, not just a per-unit rate, and confirm how many units the quote assumes. Confirm who is administering the injection, and ask about the standard two-week follow-up, which reputable clinics include at no extra charge.
